As the lights come on, Ryan and the others walk into an Italian restaurant, which is well-known in Brooklyn and is known for its authentic Italian cuisine, but there are not many types of food for Natalie and Mrs. Shelly to choose from, and strict vegetarianism is the most troublesome.

Speaking of which, Natalie had already broken her vows under Ryan's bewitchment, but that was only when the two were alone, in front of her mother, she was still a good girl, even if she had already shown signs of rebellion.

Kingsley and Mrs. Shelly sat together, constantly exchanging ideas about Natalie's future, while Ryan and Natalie leaned together and muttered under their breath.

"What, you're going to change your name?" Ryan was slightly surprised.

"yes, I don't want to be like you." Natalie pouted.

"Like me? What's wrong with me? "He's really a little strange now, it seems that he has become a negative teaching material again.

"Don't you often complain to me, your classmates always look at you with strange eyes at school, and reporters are surrounded at the school gate all day long." Natalie said all the things Ryan often wrote in her letters, "There are too many letters mailed by fans, and I don't have time to read them or reply to them." ”

"Journalists and the like, it's good to get used to it, but it's really troublesome to send letters from fans or something." Ryan scratched his head a little.

Ryan's school is no secret, and the letters it receives each week are often in the hundreds, which cannot be thrown around, and often require George to carry a bag to carry them.

Choosing some of them to reply to is a must-do, and while most of the replies are left to the team behind the scenes, be careful about how to do it.

He had complained to Natalie about these things more than once in his letters, but in return, of course, a merciless blow.

So, I decided to give myself a stage name...... Well, try to get as little harassment as possible before you are a minor. Natalie put down the fork in her hand, tapped the table lightly, and said in a low voice, "Portman, Natalie?" What do you think, Portman, Ryan? ”

Natalie? Portman? What do I think? Needless to say? Ryan rolled his eyes, "Not bad, it's your grandmother's last name, right?" ”

"yes, I remember telling you before that she fought in World War II and delivered intelligence to the Allies."

"A heroine." Ryan nodded, Natalie is not ordinary smart, she knows how to use every advantage of herself, and she and she are really all the way, "Weishenme I didn't think of changing my name in the first place?" ”

"Want to know why?" Natalie's jaw cocked.

"Of course."

"Because you're a fool, the biggest fool in the world!"

Seeing Ryan's face turn dark, Natalie laughed uncontrollably, hitting him was her greatest pleasure.

Despite its name, there weren't many diners, and not far from Ryan's table, a man and a woman were sitting at the table talking about something.

"Liv, so you're in good hopes of winning the role?"

"Uh-huh~" The girl has long black hair, is it Liv? Taylor, "When I left the audition room, I could see that the director was happy with me. ”

Since she was a child, she has lived in the complex and chaotic rock and roll circles and modeling circles, and observing words and colors is just a small meaning for her.

"That's great."

The agent showed a bit of excitement, Ryan? Jenkins' works have never failed, as long as Liv can become popular, it means that his income will also rise, maybe he can still be like pie? Like this, Kim Si Li took advantage of the situation to become a first-class agent.

"Ryan? Wasn't Jenkins also in the audition room, and he didn't say anything? "The agent knows very well that the other party is the creator of Matilda, who has a certain status in Hollywood, and should have a great say in this role.

Ryan ......

Liv? Taylor looked up, just in time to see the other table in front of her, the person sitting in front of her, wasn't it Ryan? Jenkins?

He was joking with a girl, why was that girl so familiar?

After a little recollection, she remembered, isn't this zuihou a girl who auditioned? She also greeted her, as if she was called Natalie......

How did she end up with Ryan? Jenkins is together, looking at the appearance of talking and laughing, it will definitely not be just acquaintance, nor can it be an ordinary acquaintance, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a very good friend!

As soon as the audition ended, they got together, and they were so happy, was it celebrating......

Liv? Taylor is also not a simple girl, despite being an illegitimate daughter, her parents are both celebrities in the entertainment industry, she has been dealing with this circle since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the dark side behind the glamour as her mother attends all kinds of parties.

Drug abuse, alcoholism,, trading, homosexuality, etc., she doesn't know how many she has seen, knows that behind the seemingly fair auditions, it can never be fair, and she also knows that it is one of the unwritten rules of Hollywood to use cooked and not raw.

In just an instant, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and she understood that the role that was originally within reach was getting farther and farther away from her.

Ryan and Natalie naturally didn't notice it, and they didn't know what was happening today, and they would cause some trouble in the future.

"I've seen Luc? Besson's films, but I have never seen him shoot on location, and I don't know what style of director he is. Ryan and Natalie talked softly, and the topic naturally revolved around "Killer Leon", "But, Nat, don't worry, no matter how strict the French fat man is, he can't compare to James?" Cameron. ”

"Oh~" Natalie finished eating a piece of vegan pizza, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said unhurriedly, "Let?" Renault I've seen it, that Gary? What about Oldman? ”

Gary? Oldman also came from Ryan's recommendation, Luc? After talking to him once, Besson decided to cast the evil guy in the role of Stan, the policeman.

"He's rumored to be a very funny guy." Ryan shrugged.

"Killer Leon" has just begun to prepare, and it is still very early to start filming, although the movie does not have too many big scenes, but many scenes need to be closed, this is New York, and it must be communicated with the city hall in advance, and it will take a lot of time to work in this area alone.

As for Natalie, after watching her audition, there is nothing to worry about in terms of acting, the only problem is that she is a lot thinner than when she starred in this movie in her previous life.

In particular, Matilda in her previous life had two small bags bulging out of her chest, but now Natalie is an out-and-out airport.

Age is not a big issue, even if Natalie plays a role at the age of fifteen, it will still cause controversy.

However, now Ryan has become the creator of the script, and with his current fame, even if there is a flood of artillery fire and sewage, most of them will come at him.

Correspondingly, Natalie will no longer be under so much pressure as she was in her previous life.

In the previous life, "Killer Leon" was hailed as a classic, but it was not a success in North America - word of mouth and box office were not good - since the day of its release, it has been bombarded by the mainstream media, especially Natalie, who has received praise for her acting skills, but it has been accompanied by huge pressure, and even many media continue to smear her.

Among the people who support her, most of them are middle-aged men, and many of the letters mailed to her are also the ** language of the strange Shu.

If it weren't for her smart and precocious and strong enough will, under this kind of treatment of ice and fire, maybe she would become another ** girl.

Even so, it still had a huge impact on her future, for example, when she became an adult, she once publicly stated that she didn't like the role of Matilda.

"When are you going back to Los Angeles?" Natalie asked.

"Tomorrow, I can't take too long off, or Nicole will be upset again." Ryan sighed, the impact of the events in Poland was enormous, Nicole? Kidman's discipline was much harsher than before, "You know, I was grounded by Nicole last month......"

Things in New York are over, and after returning to Los Angeles, whether at home or at school, Ryan has restrained a lot, and God knows what happened to Nicole, and he is much stricter with him.

Of course, Ryan won't understand that this is the Oscar party with Harvey? A side effect of a conversation with Weinstein.

This is also good, so that he can put away all his energy and devote himself to the script writing of "Scream", besides, there is no other Jihua during this time, and he can find time to write "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

In fact, there are still many crew members who have invited him, but most of them are small supporting roles, which do not have much value in acting, and will not be of much help to his future.

His body has been developing rapidly, and his height has begun to approach that of an adult infinitely, but his face is still that of a young teenager.

Generally, child stars who develop late will only encounter the most embarrassing period after the age of thirteen or fourteen, but Ryan ushered in this stage early, even if he has been a human for two lives and has searched all the memories in his mind, he can't find a very suitable role, so it can only be like this for the time being.

Maybe I can create an original story? Tailor a character for yourself? This thought would pop up from time to time, and Ryan was also a little moved.

After plagiarism for so many years, he has some experience, not to mention, he has twenty more years of film experience than today, and it is normal to have this kind of thought.

However, now is not the time, his signboard in Hollywood has just been erected, and if it is messed up, it will inevitably have a ** impact on future production.

Speaking of which, in terms of music, I am still stronger than the movie, the songs can be original, and the level is not bad, I really don't know what to say.

You know, the song "Climbing" stayed at the top of the billboard for 11 weeks before giving up the title of champion, and although it did not break the record of "I Will Always Love You" for thirteen consecutive weeks, it received countless praises.
